Indeed.. I still experience problems trying to shake off me, the
english use of <for> ; I tend to mix this up with the tlhIngan {-vaD},
which is of course wrong. In retrospect, I could/should have written
{{bortaS vInajtaHvIS} <while I was dreaming revenge>.

Of course.. That was the good old careless me, making (yet another)
careless mistake.

Indeed ! Reading your corrections, I realized that the answer was in
front of my eyes. At least I practiced the {-bogh}.

Thank you for your comments SuStel !
